When my husband and I decided to have a home birth, my mother-in-law insisted that she had to be there

When my husband and I decided on a home birth, my mother-in-law insisted on being there to “support” us. I agreed, thinking her presence would be comforting. But when I went into labor, she kept sneaking out of the room, glancing over her shoulder like she had something more important to do.

Between contractions, I heard an odd noise and asked my husband to check. When he returned, his face was pale with disbelief. My mother-in-law was in the kitchen, fully engrossed in baking a cake—complete with ingredients, pans, and a mixer she had brought along.

“Well, I thought it would be nice to have a homemade cake ready when the baby arrives,” she explained cheerfully. I was furious at first—was she seriously sifting flour while I was in labor? But soon, the absurdity of it all had me laughing between contractions.

After the birth, she proudly presented a beautifully decorated “Welcome to the World” cake. Though still annoyed, I couldn’t help but smile. That bizarre moment became a family tradition—every year, she bakes the same cake for our child’s birthday, turning a strange experience into a cherished memory.
